Paul Wood said on 12/Aug/18He's listed in most places as 5ft 8in but I've never thought he is that height. So many actors are listed as that height when they are clearly shorter.

errybodyshutup said on 9/Jul/17@World Citizen right? another 1/4 inch advantage when he is clearly shorter... I think its because Rob tries to be generous as much as possible so that he won't get hated on...

Blake said on 8/Jun/17How long is his head?

Editor Rob: possibly just under 9 inches

World Citizen said on 6/Jun/17I think he is 5 ft 6.25

hey rob said on 13/Mar/16his hair cant even reach 5'7

littlesue said on 2/Oct/15I would say a fraction over 5ft 6

Armandy said on 23/Aug/15I see 168 too

hey rob said on 28/May/15what the hell is the difference between 168 and 169 exactly? because I am seeing 168

Oanh said on 6/Mar/15I'm seeing 5'6.5"

CD said on 2/Feb/15Rob how do you think he'd be in a staredown with G today? Judging from the pic it looks like he's just below your hairline which is 169 range... although I know he's probably lost some height... I'm just wondering who looked taller in person Denis or Big G?

[Editor Rob: both similar range, maybe 169 range is possible today for him, I think he definitely looked in the similar 169-170 zone that G appears in.]

Arch Stanton said on 1/Feb/15Generally 5 ft 8 seems a stretch but he could look it in Local Hero. Now, nearer 5'6.5.

Arch Stanton said on 1/Feb/15Peak he could look 5 ft 8.

Bishop said on 17/Dec/14Looks more 5'6.5"

fsd said on 10/Sep/14rob he looks closer to 5'6 ft

Arch Stanton said on 8/Sep/14I always thought 5 ft 8 was a stretch!!

I don't have a name said on 29/Jun/14You may or may not know that Denis Lawson is the uncle of Ewan McGregor who of course was in the second Star Wars Trilogy.

SaveUsY2J said on 9/May/14Maybe 5'8" peak, Rob?

[Editor Rob: not sure how much he would lose, but a big inch I would be surprised...he is aged 61 in this picture and in person I'd have put him a weak 5ft 7er, so 5ft 7-7.5 range peak is possible.]

Mike T said on 2/Dec/135'6"

Mathew said on 25/Jun/13I think he looks closer to 5'6" than 5'7" here.

Robby D said on 27/Apr/13He looks more than an inch shorter than Rob in that photo. If Rob is 5'8" I would say Denis is more like 5'6".
